Access and licence hygiene
Access and licences should follow the work people do now.
Hiring, departures, role changes, external collaboration, and project endings all change the tenant. Recurring hygiene closes the gap between those business events and Microsoft 365 administration.
Book a scoping callPeople lifecycle
Joiner, mover, and leaver work is more than account creation.
A reliable lifecycle connects identity, licences, shared resources, delegated access, and ownership. The administrative task is only complete when the business counterpart has confirmed what the person should retain, inherit, or hand over.
Licence decisions
The question first. The change second.
Optimisation starts with role context, not a deletion target.
An unused assignment may reflect a completed project, a changed role, an absence, or a capability the team has not adopted. A hygiene review identifies the question; the business owner confirms whether the assignment still supports the work.
This approach avoids invented savings claims and keeps licence changes connected to adoption, access dependencies, and future plans. It also exposes where no one currently owns the decision.
Recurring review
What belongs in the monthly operating view.
- Recent joiners, role changes, and departures that still need follow-up
- Guest access and external collaboration without a current sponsor
- Privileged roles that need an explicit owner and continuing reason
- Shared mailbox, Team, group, and site ownership affected by staff change
- Licence assignments that no longer align with the person’s current work
From hygiene to action

The readiness brief turns recurring access and licence uncertainty into a non-scored next-step list.
